  • Analyse pratique du RCF : rythme cardiaque foetal

    Méthodologie et cas cliniques commentés
    • 1st Edition
    • Paul Berveiller + 2 more
    • French
    L’enregistrement du rythme cardiaque foetal (RCF) est une méthode de surveillance du foetus pendant le travail mais aussi en dehors et dont l’utilisation a pris de l’ampleur au cours des cinq dernières décennies. La lecture des données enregistrées donne lieu à une interprétation toujours délicate, voire imparfaite, en fonction du contexte. L’enregistrement doit donc être de bonne qualité pour permettre une interprétation rigoureuse. Cet ouvrage qui se présente comme un outil pratique et didactique, propose une méthode systématique de description et d’interprétation du RCF destinée à maximiser les données qui permettront ensuite une meilleure prise en charge. Il est structuré en deux grandes parties : la première, consacrée à des rappels théoriques sur la compréhension et l’interprétation du RCF, met l’accent sur la physiologie foetale qui favorise cette compréhension et cette interprétation ;la deuxième composée de cas cliniques, permet de s’entraîner à la systématisation de l’interprétation du RCF.Les tracés qu’il propose en font un manuel d’apprentissage de lecture et d’interprétation indispensable aux sages-femmes et aux gynécologues obstétriciens.
